[Covering a 35-100mm focal length range to bring out the charm of your subjects] This single lens condenses the focal lengths (35mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 100mm) that are particularly in demand for portrait photography. Covering from semi-wide angle to medium telephoto, it allows for flexible shooting, from wide compositions that make use of the background to close-up shots that capture the subject's expression. [An incredibly lightweight and compact "pocket lens" perfect for snapshots and travel] The 35-100mm F2.8 lens is designed with portability in mind. It achieves an incredibly lightweight and compact design with a length of 121.5mm and a weight of 575g. Miniaturization and weight reduction were achieved through a multifaceted approach, including optimization of the switch and internal structure, ingenuity in component shapes, and careful consideration of the optical system, while simultaneously ensuring high rigidity. It maintains the focal length and brightness of "35-100mm F2.8" while offering both portability and peace of mind. It is truly a lens worthy of being called a "pocket lens," allowing you to easily enjoy everything from portraits to snapshots while traveling. In addition, the design minimizes the change in the overall length of the lens barrel, resulting in less shift in the center of gravity during zooming, allowing for stable operation even when shooting handheld or using a gimbal for video recording. [High Image Quality and Rich Bokeh Across the Entire Zoom Range] The 35-100mm F2.8 is compact yet delivers excellent image quality. The 13-group, 15-element lens effectively incorporates one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) lens, two LD (Low Dispersion) lenses, and three GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lenses. This suppresses various aberrations, including chromatic aberration, resulting in high resolution across the entire zoom range. Furthermore, the BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) coating reduces ghosting and flare even in backlit conditions. The soft bokeh produced by the large F2.8 aperture and high image quality capture both casual portraits and travel landscapes vividly and impressively. [High-speed, high-precision AF that reliably captures fleeting expressions] The AF drive is equipped with Tamron's highest-level high-speed, high-precision linear motor focus mechanism, VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive). It reliably captures fleeting expressions of subjects while traveling. It also boasts high subject tracking capabilities, even handling the unpredictable movements of children. Furthermore, its excellent quietness makes it suitable for still image and video shooting in environments where silence is required. [Expanded expressive power with close-up photography] The minimum focusing distance is 0.22m at the wide-angle end (maximum magnification 1:3.3). This allows you to get very close to your subject, making it ideal for table photography in places like cafes. Furthermore, the bright F2.8 aperture creates a beautiful bokeh effect, allowing you to transform even everyday scenes into impressive works. [Supports video and photo shooting with TAMRON Lens Utility™] It is now possible to assign practical video and photo shooting functions to the lens without needing to prepare the previously required video-related equipment. [Lens Design Considering Convenience and Operability] Every detail of the lens components has been reviewed to create a design that prioritizes operability and texture. The lens exterior features a glossy black finish with enhanced shine. This improves scratch resistance, making it less prone to scratches and reducing the visibility of fingerprints. The grip performance of the ring rubber has also been improved. From the brand ring that creates an elegant presence to the smallest details, the design pursues functional beauty. [A refined torque feel for comfortable shooting] The 35-100mm F2.8 lens is designed with meticulous attention to the feel and precision of its ring operation, ensuring a comfortable shooting experience every day. Improvements to the internal structure and the precision of the ring mechanism ensure consistently smooth and uniform movement. Furthermore, the use of specially selected friction materials creates a light and natural torque feel, allowing you to control focusing and zooming exactly as you intend.
